I've placed a wireless access point up stairs and it has only one partition wall to reach the main factory or one floor to reach my office. I can also get good signal anywhere in the factory (must be about the size of two two floor houses). My worst case is two 4" walls, altough the bandwitdth drops down it is still usuable. Alu foil or metal can make good sheilds but it the frequencys concerned so does concrete blocks! As mentioned it is line of site and you need to be in free air as much as is physicaly possible. I would recomend a wireless access point (WAP) as well just run a ethernet to your roof and fit the WAP there, you could fit one each end to maximise coverage? You would not get much if any advantage using an attenna over sticking the WAP in the roof. As WAP's are quite small it seems a lot of hassle runing a coax up there with extra attenuation.
